JAMES .H. BYRNES, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGN- MENTS, TO S. H. POMEROY COMPANY, INC, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.,-A CORPORATION METAL WINDOW.

Original application filed July 8, 1922, Serial No. 573,541. Divided and this application filed January 4,

1928. Serial This invention relates to windows and sliding frames generally and preferably of the wholly metal types.

This application is a divisional application of-my application, Ser. No. 573,541, filed July 8, 1922, entitled Metal windows, now United States Letters Patent No. 1,677,952,- granted to me on July 24, 1928. In said patent I have described and claimed certain features pertaining more particularly to the construction of the sash and frame members ,of, a window with which the present invention is applicable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a lower sill which extends interiorly of the opening of the wall for the Window, and has an apron which projects downwardly on the interior of the wall opening, and is adapted to support suitable bracket means for suspending a radiator or the like.

Preferably, such apron is provided with a lower edge of angular formation extending toward but spaced from the surface of the interior wall below the sill.

Such bracket means preferably comprises individual brackets having hooked u per ends engaging the angular lower edge 0 the apron. Such suspension of each bracket enables the bracket to be slided laterally relative to the angular lower edge of the apron, to attain the desired positioning of the brackets and the radiator relative to the sill.

Further features and objects of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description and. the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is an interior elevation of the sill and lower edge portion of the lower sash and also illustrating a form of bracket co .operating with the sill plate for supporting a radiator embodying my invention;

Fig.2 is a detail side elevation of the. bracket for supporting the radiator or the like from the interior overhanging edge of the sill; and

Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view on line 10-10 of Fi 2. a

The left-hand jamb of the window is indicated at 11 and the right-hand jamb at 12; the sill is indicated generall at 14.

The inward apron 90 o the sill 14 is preferably curved interiorly, as is indicated at 91 and spaced from the wall 92 to provide a clearance for the reception of an angular bracket 93 for supporting a radiator 94, as is indicated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. Such bracket- 93 may include the spaced supporting arms 95, 96, see Figs. 1 and 4 respectively secured by screws 97 to the vertically extending plate 98 of the bracket 93. It will be noted that the arms 95, 96 of the brackets 93 engage the radiator between the inner radiator sections; such arrangement permits the radiator 94 to be securely hung without marring the wall and also to permit adjustment of the radiator horizontally relatively to the sill 14 by merely shifting the bracket 93 horizontally in the groove formed by the upturned angular edge 92 at the apron 90.

Preferably in such preferred forms of the invention, the window frame composed of the opposite jambs 11, 12, a suitable head and the sill 14 are connected as a unit at the place of manufacture b welding, riveting or the like to one anot er, preparatory to shipment to any location of installation. The window frame is positioned within the masons daylight opening in the building by mere placement against the masonry and held in place by brick, tile or lugs or other suitable means on the interior.

Whereas I have described my invention by reference to specific forms thereof it will be understood that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

1 claim:

1. The combination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an iuwardly disposed apron having an angular portion extending toward but spaced from the surface of the interior wall below the sill, and a bracket for a radiator detachably carried by said angular portion.

2. The combination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an inwardly disposed apron having an angular portion extending toward but spaced from the surface of the interior wall below the sill, and a bracket for a radiator freely detachably carried by said angular portion.

3. A metal window sill provided with an apron extending downward on the inside of the wall below the window having its lower edge turned inward toward the wall and ion bent upward to form a hook adapted to support the hooked upper end of a radiator support, the hook being so spaced away from the wall as to permit the hooked upper end of the radiator support to be inserted between the apron and the wall.

4. The combination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an inwardly disposed apron having an angular portion extending toward but spaced from the surface of the interior Wall below the sill and a plurality of brackets for supporting a radiator, said bracket-s being freely detachably supported from said apron, the upper portions of said brackets extending into such s ace between said apron and the interior We 1 v y '5. The'coinbination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an inwardly disposed apron having its lower portion spaced from the interior wall below the sill, and bracket means for supporting a radiator from the lower portion of said sill, the upper portions of said bracket means extending into such space between said apron and the interior wall and freely detachably carried by said lower sill portion.

6. The combination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an inwardly disposed apron having its lower portion spaced from the interior wall below the sill and a bracket for supporting a radiator and freely detachably suspended from said sill, the upper end of said bracket extending into such space between the interior wall and the lower portion of said apron, said bracket being slidable laterally relative to the lower portion of said sill.

7. The combination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an inwardly disposed apron below the sill and a pair of brackets for supporting a radiator, said brackets being freely detachably suspended from and movable laterally relative to the lower portion of said sill.

8. The combination with a metal window frame, of a metal sill provided with an inwardly disposed apron having an angular portion extending toward but spaced from the surface of the interior wall below the sill, and a bracket for supporting a radiator and having its upper portion freely detachably supported by said angular portion and extending ,into the space between the angular portion of the apron and the wall for engagement with the apron, the upper end of said bracket being moved through the space between said angular portion and the interior wall below the sill for the insertion of the said upper portion into position to engage said angular portion.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification this 26th day of September, 1927.
